Overview
Inlyta 5mg Tablet is a targeted therapy anticancer medicine used in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer), commonly provided when other therapies have failed. It contains Axitinib as its active ingredient, which is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR 1, 2, and 3), which are proteins necessary for angiogenesis—the creation of new blood vessels—that cancers need to proliferate and spread, are particularly blocked by axitinib. It slows the growth and progression of cancer cells by reducing the blood supply to tumors by blocking these receptors.
